Where I can find this beautiful pictures? Any ideas? Hi Peter, I think the website has been off the air for a long time. Although they are not to far away from me, I have not heard much about them lately, apart from something I saw on the Tank Museum website recently.

pete41 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Richard, It was always a good and quick treatment against "the green fever" to take a look at their homepage. I saw their vehicles in Beltring for about 3 times incl. Rommels staff car. They are working at a very high standart - simply perfect for me!!!! Maybe you will get some more info´s about their homepage, to cure an green fever infected austrian! All the Best Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver99 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 The vehicle collection still exists. I believe there is a slight move toward restoration of Allied armour in the near future, and perhaps some WW1 vehicles when found. M Gibbs has boundless enthusiasm for MV's, and the research which goes into their restoration, i.e. Rommel's Staff Car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlymb Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Some parts of the old (and now defunct) website were saved here: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.sdkfz.com Greetz David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo 44 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 The Foundation is still going strong, but as said - discussion about a new name. I hope the new homepage will be up and running soon. As far as I know they have been helping Bovington Tank Museum with the Tiger engine so that the Tiger will be running againg this summer. But they have also been working on other customers projects. About WW I vehicles - yes they have been starting on a restoration project - a French FT 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runflat Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Perhaps they will get a matching transporter: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?9005 Now that would be something special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 The Weald Foundation have a new website. Fascinating to browse the 'collection'. https://www.wealdfoundation.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It would be good to see some of their vehicles back on the MV scene. WPR is very drab without them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
